I don't mind paying for the few extra watts to run the fan.

Since I already have the 12v connected to the fan (positive and negative), I'll just run the positive over to that pin then? Or do I need to also run the negative to a ground point? Sorry this is probably a stupid question.

I'm not too worried about pack life. If it goes, it goes. At least I'll get the experience of repairing it myself. It's going to go eventually, and I don't feel like topping it off is going to make it go significantly sooner.

If I use my whole pack, I only can recharge for about 12 hours a day, and that's 4.2Ah, so I might not even necessarily top it off anyway.

I'm not charging before 7PM on sunny days, so my cabin temps are maxing out only around 100. I'm managing battery usage so I don't have to charge at work. It'd be nice though. Maybe in the Winter to make up for the cold temps screwing with my MPG.
